CatⓇ machines are renowned for their innovation and efficiency which constantly keep them ahead of competitors. But with technological improvements advancing at a furious rate, sometimes keeping up with the latest developments can be difficult.
A recent training event was designed to help operators of Cat machines to enhance their skills and make the most of the advanced features available on the equipment, ensuring that operators are well-equipped to utilise the full potential of Cat machinery, leading to improved efficiency, productivity, and safety on job sites.
The three-day Smart Iron Training Program, organised by Hastings Deering and hosted by Diamond Excavators at its property in Townsville, drew participants and visitors from both Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Hastings Deering is one of the leading Cat dealers globally, with exclusive distribution rights for the sale of Cat equipment, technology solutions, parts and service in Queensland, the Northern Territory, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. In 2022, Hastings Deering celebrated 90 years since it was founded by Harold Hastings Deering, a pioneer in the mechanisation of Australia.
The sessions focused on educating customers on the most advanced equipment in the industry, and tailoring education around theory, demonstration-based training, and machinebased training.
It also included sessions in which participants could demo the machines, test their skills and compete in an operator challenge.
Day 1: Attendees were allocated to a group where they were rotated across six areas each with information surrounding a different machine group. They were trained by Hastings Deering product specialists, accompanied by a Caterpillar subject matter expert.
Day 2: Attendees rotated in groups again and were required to complete tasks with the machines using the technology they were shown in Day 1.
